From The Telegraph:-

As one senior MP put it: “We need a core message. No one has the slightest idea what we stand for any more. The message at the moment that Brown cannot be the change doesn’t work any more, because he has been the change.

“And there’s no good running faster and faster towards the centre ground when Gordon is marching towards the Right. It feels like we’re an army marching in the night, pitching our tents and then waking up in the morning to find we’re stationed on the wrong side.”

Core message? How about you’d listened to Alan Duncan and backed him when he stood for leader?

Duncan had a clear, philosophical message of small government. This would not only have been the right thing, but would have shown both new ideas (social liberalism), and that they hadn’t ditched the old (economic liberalism). It would have put clear water between Labour and the Conservatives. It would have reflected the times we live in where people are highly mobile, have many different lifestyles and have a distrust of government.
